Work Mt the Front.

The Kittitas Localizer says that a
ride over the switchback is no less
interesting than curious at the pres.
ent time. The road rises at q
gradual elevation and has two tacks
in gaining the summit from the east
side. On nearing the summit the
road passes between two perptndicu-
lar walls Of snow. In a few places
there Is just room enough for the
cars to pass through without scrap
ing the walls. In one place the top
of the car took n shaving off the
snow WALL There are II great many
bridges on the Switchback route.
The highest, 150 feet, is at the be-
ginning OF the approach at the last
end. This trc3tle work is called
bridging, but in few instances are
they over water courses; they
are over dry gulches. The
trip is now made daily
over the summit and down on the
west side to the end of the track.
The material for extending the rOad
is all taken from the east side. The
road on the west side is now COM
pleted to the west end of the switch
back, hut there Is no decapod to do
duty in climbing the grade from that
side.
The middle of May will see the
road completed. There is station
at the foot of the mountain incline
on the east side which is called
Easton; the station at the foot of
the incline on the west side is called
Weston. These stations will be as
far down as the decapOd engines will
A tn L.,
is to be a house built to shelter the
decapods when not in active EN-
plOyment.
There are several hundred China
men at work on the switchback, who
have been mostly employed i'm
shoveling snow to keep the road bed
clear for track laying. Those there
now seem contented. For the greater
part Of the winter from 800 TO 700
have been on the work. Their tents
are located on both sides of the road
in the snow banks, where holes are
scOoped out large enough to set the
tent-sOme places fully ten feet deep.
To one not accustomed to it, it seems
hard life TO live, to say nothing
about the exposure to which they
are subjected.
The difficulties attendant upon
track laying on the switchback dur
ing the last two months, have never
been paraileled i'm this country, if in
the world. To get the snow out
OF cut near the summit, some
500 Cinnamon have been employed
in keeping the roadbed clear. To
do this, at one place eight tiers of
Cinnamon were employed for weeks
in throwing the snow from one TO
another TO clear the cut. This will
give the reader an idea of the earn
estness of the company's efforts in
pushing the work. Under such try
ing circumstances the work was of !
necessity very slow. The company
shows determination such as has |
never been witnessed before IN track |
laying. Shoveling out cuts To ena-
bic trains to run has been done
many times, but shoveling snow to
lay track, as here related. takes the
bakery in railroading. The east end
of the Stampede tunnel is now
2230 feet at the heading and 2l75 |
feet mt the breast. The west end
heading 1920 feet, and breast PIG |
feet.

DAWSON, GEORGIA,
A SAD SUICIDE AT SHE'LL
MAN.
The Reason for the Rash Act I'm
known.


Cuthbort Liberal.
Yesterday morning our commu
nifty was shocked by hearing that
Mr. George w Oliver of Shellman
had committed suicide. He was
depot agent, agent Of the Southern
Express company and Post Master
at that place. He was one of the
most influential and popular citi-
zens of our community. He was
in easy circumstances and his do
nestle relations were happy. He
was very cheerful yesterday morn
ing as was customary with him.
After breakfast he went around
town among the merchants
collecting freight bills and on re-
turning to the depot at half past
eight o'clock, stepped into the tel
egraph office which adjoins his
own, with door opening between
the two, Miss Mollie Lancaster,
the operator, was seated at the ia
BE. When he had entered the
door he turned round, closed and
locked it, remarking that he was
going to kill himself, displaying at
that time a vial of strvchnine. She
asked him not to do so, nut he
drew out a pistol and told her il
she made any cutlery he would
kill her. He swallowed a large
quantity of strychnine, sat down
Immediately in chair, placed the
muzz!e ct the pistol against his
heart and fred, killing himself in
stantly. These are tho particulars
as learned through Mr.. c E Clarke,
who was there soon after the sad
occurrence. Mr.. Oliver was q use,
tul citizen, a kind neighbor and a
true friend. He was strictlya sober
man, not having taken a drop of
intoxicants of any kind in many
years. He was a splendid business
man and was filing three impore
t1nt places of trust, at the time of
lis death. He was at all times
cheerful and had pleasant
word tor every one. What mo-
tives or reasons could have promp,
ted the rash deed we are at a loss
conjecture.

The Seven Anarchist Doomed.

The Chicago riot of a few months
back and arrest and imprisonment
Of the leaders is well remembered.
They were tried and convicted but
their attorneys thinking that they
could save them from the gallows,
took their case to the Supreme
Court. On the 18th Inst this
court delivered its opinion affirming
the decision of the court below.
The execution will take place No
vember 18th.
This is a just verdict and these
bloody rioters ought to hang if
any murderer of the deepest die
ought to be punished in that way.
The sooner a quietus is put on
these miserable hlood-thirsty Anar-
chists who would lead ignorant
men into murder and riot the bet
ter it will be for this country.
Uncle Sam will have to order
out his army at some time to
quell them and it seems ina short
while. The news of the courts
